Summary

Code and general input from people are exactly what's needed, Dave says, because building in the open means building the things people need. Without hearing from them you end up building for yourself.

    there's a lot of things that, as you hear somebody talk about, and you get an idea, it's like, hey, this, this nice, this needs to be done. And I've got this great idea for the way this could be better. But you would have never come to that conclusion, if you have not heard the process discussed openly.
